Other people think a device will be degraded through any sort of use. That’s understandable: when I used to teach QuickBooks, I would jokingly explain depreciation by saying that a computer depreciated 100% as soon as you got it to the car. 😉

However, that sort of massive depreciation is not the case with Kindle EBRs (E-Book Readers) and Fire tablets.

At least, not for one that are certified refurbished by Amazon.

They check out the devices thoroughly…and you get the same 1-year warranty you would get with a new one.

You won’t save a lot of money, but you will save some. The Kindle Voyage is available right now for $30 less…that’s significant, but it’s still $169…not exactly garage sale prices. 🙂

You also never know what they’ll have…it just depends on what they have in stock.

If you are looking to save some money, though, it’s worth checking out this page:

* I am linking to the same thing at the regular Amazon site, and at AmazonSmile. When you shop at AmazonSmile, half a percent of your purchase price on eligible items goes to a non-profit you choose. It will feel just like shopping at Amazon: you’ll be using your same account. The one thing for you that is different is that you pick a non-profit the first time you go (which you can change whenever you want)…and the good feeling you’ll get. Shop ’til you help! By the way, it’s been interesting lately to see Amazon remind me to “start at AmazonSmile” if I check a link on the original Amazon site. I do buy from AmazonSmile, but I have a lot of stored links I use to check for things.
